Ok, lets have it your way:
U = {{}, apple, orange} NOT {apple, orange} = {{}} NOT {apple} => {{}, orange} NOT {{}} => {apple, orange} NOT {} => {{}, apple, orange}
In the last line, NOT {} produces a set that includes the thing being NOTed namely {}. This is illogical. Received on Tue Feb 06 2007 - 23:49:05 CET
